The opposition says Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim should be given time to recover from his surgery so he can table the document.

PN wants special Dewan sitting on Tabung Haji RCI report postponed

Perikatan Nasional, the opposition coalition, has requested the postponement of a special Dewan Rakyat sitting scheduled for tomorrow. The sitting is intended to table the report of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on Tabung Haji, a religious fund. Takiyuddin Hassan, the chief whip of PN, argued that the sitting should be rescheduled to enable Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to recuperate from recent surgery.

He emphasized that Anwar's presence is crucial, not only for accountability and transparency but also to ensure a thorough explanation to the public regarding the report. The report, declassified on July 29, 2022, four years after the commission's completion in July 2022, has unveiled significant flaws in Tabung Haji's governance, investment, and financial management from 2014 to 2020.

It recommended a comprehensive overhaul, including stricter oversight, forensic audits of selected investments, and restrictions on political interference in the institution.
